My opinion of the book
So far I really like this book. It's so different from any other book i've read before. I love how we get to see how he thinks with autism. He thinks and notices things completely different from us like the fact when he see's red cars it's a good day for him, or when he see's yellow cars it's a bad day. For me it just depends on the mood I am in. Another thing I found interesting was the way he likes to count. He hates counting by one but loves counting by prime numbers so the chapter's go up by prime numbers. He also doesn't talk to people unless you ask him a question. That's complete opposite of me I love talking to people! He doesn't like people touching him including his dad. So to show affection they touch hands, this demonstates love for one another. I feel bad for the dad because he just wants to have a normal relationship with his son like other parents have. But Chris doesn't know any better. I love reading a book about a 15 year old boy having autism and his daily life with it. My sister works with people like him but most of the time with more serious cases of autism. I love helping her out with her job, there so fun to be around. But when they get angry or something doesn't go in order they can't take it and get mad. Most of my sisters students she has just yell and hit. They love seeing me dance especially when their angry, it makes them calm. Also they love it when I dance because its a way of expression and they can relate. They love to express themselves. I also have a few family members like Christopher but some more serious autism. So it's neat to read a book about how they think, feel and see the world. I'm really excited to see what's more to come when reading this book!
